DateBid, the webcam auction-style dating game on Facebook, today announced the company has partnered with Betsy Russell, star of the upcoming film SAW3D, to give die-hard fans the opportunity to bid on a webcam date with the celebrity. The winning bidder will receive a 10-minute video chat with the actress and all proceeds from the auction will be given to Going Out by Going In the charity of Betsy Russell’s choice.
Bidding on hot movie stars for charity is great, a nice promotional tie-in for Date Bid.
However, I’m not a big fan of bidding on people for dates online. I know all about leaderboards and buying your way up them, but something about paying to speed date someone online just doesn’t do it for me. Plenty of people disagree, but most of these bid-to-date/view sites are too close to the videochat camgirls doing porn. DateBid claims 700,000 profiles, thats a lot of people looking to get paid to go on online dates.
If you like casual dating on Facebook, check out Datebid. Let us know how it went.
